MSPC 3860 - Gender Communication


Examines the symbolic, social, cultural, political, and personal ways in which gender impacts our daily communication activities in American culture. As “men” and “women,” “boys” and “girls,” we learn an intricate system of communication that shapes the ways we understand and are understood by others. This course takes a practical look at how people speak, write, and interact non-verbally through the use of gender-specific codes and suggests alternatives to “gendered” communication rituals that hinder us.
